M@An extensive Louisiana sugar-planter, VINO
is native of Baltimore county, lately wrote let
sion to make few extracts from It. -He says:
"I will finish taking off the crop this week if the
weather will permit; it has been raining for near
ly two weeks. I will make over million and
a-haIf pounds of sugar and two thousand barrels
of molasses. The greater part of our money crops
were lost by the laborers' striking-nearly all of
three parishes. They would not work nor let
others work and they were finally brought to terms
by killing over hundred of them and crippling
as many more. Bad white men were the cause of
all the trouble-political tramps who never work
and will live at the expense of others-but take
good care to get out of the way when the fight is
on hand. The negroes commenced the fight, but
the whites were prepared for them and made short
work of them. They were over three thousand
strong, the whites, who were well armed, number
ing three hundred The fight was delayed too
long for the crops, but everybody is working now
to save what they can. Many hands were brought
in from other states, but the ice the I'D of last
month will cause half of the crop to be lost"

A GOOD POINT ON ANNEXATION.

December 10th, 1887.
Messrs. Editors In my communication to you
of the 18th on the annexation question, neglect
ed one very important point and one which con-
slider in legal view of the case incontrovertable
1t is this: How can any bill drawn by Mr.. Car
ter, sanctioned by the Mayor and City Council
and having the endorsement of a number of citi
of the Belt guaranteeing to the people of the
Belt certain specified considerations, &C., be bind
ing on their part, even though passed by the Leg
islature and sanctioned by majority of the voters
of the Bet2 The point is that the city of Balti-
more, in its corporated capacity, acting through
its constituted head, the Mayor and City Council,
cannot giue binding guarantee to the citizens of
the Belt. Why? The acts of one Legislature are
not binding on another, and what the session of
1888 may do can be repealed by the subsequent
Legislature of 1890. This being the law of the
case the citizens of the Belt would do we'll to con-
slider their interest ere they allow themselves to
be hoodwinked by any such promises that may be
knocked into cooked hat when too late to reme-
dy it. am no lawyer, but am confident the
legality of my views correct, or my memory in
regard to the workings of our Legislature in for
mer years must be somewhat clouded. EMORY.

most excellent juvenile periodical ever printed
The best known names in literature were on its
list of contributors from the start,-Bryant, Long
fellow, Thomas Hughes, George Macdonald, Bret
James T. Fields, John G.. Whittier; indeed the
list is so long that it would be easier to tell the
few authors of note who have not contributed to
"the worlds child magazine"
The Editor, Mary Mapes Dodge,
author of CLANS Brinker; or, the Silver Skates"
and other popular books for young folks,--and for
grown-up folks,-too, has a remarkable faculty
for knowing and entertaining children. Under
her skillfu leadership, ST. NICHOLAS brings to

Recalling the Burchard Incident.

Nec York Letter.
The prompt response Of Mr.. Blaine from Paris
to President Cleveland's message brings to min
aconversation with Senator German, of Maryland,
which took place months ago. The talk turned
upon the Burchard incident of 1884, and Senator
German was told of Gen. Logan's expression Uf
opinion that if Mr.. Blaine had kept out of New
York he would have been elected. Mr.. German 8
reply was something in this vein: "Wel that is
as you look at it. Of course if Mr.. Blaine had
not come to New York the Burchard speech would
never have been made, but the tariff speeches that
he made, beginning at jamestown and coming to-
ward New York were doing US more injury than
we could hope to overcome. The fact is that at
that late hour in the campaign we could do moth
ing to Offset their influence. The Burchard in
cident, therefore, was like thunderbolt out of a
clear sky. We seized on it and worked on it be-
cause it was our one hope Of success"
The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1887-12-24

A-A movement was made short time ago
to have the next National Democratic convention
held in Baltimore, and Mayor Latrobe wrote a
long letter to Senator German, setting forth its
many advantages and asking him to use his in
fuence to have the National Committee select the
Monumental city as the place of meeting. In re-
ply the Senator has written to Mayor Latrobe
saying that the first thing to be thought of is a
hall that would hold not less than five thousand
people, and as Baltimore is without such build
ing it would be necessary to construct one before
the Committee could consider the proposition. It
is therefore not likely that the convention will be
held in Baltimore.

B-It was last week reported that Eugene
Higgins, who will quit the Treasury Department
,ariy IN January, was to be made secretary of the
Maryland Senate, but since then, it seems, the
plans of the managers have been changed, as it
was feared there could not be found enough votes
in the Senate to elect him. 1t is now said that
Higgins, who appears to be very important fac
tor in Maryland politics. is to be made Chief Clerk
Of the House of Delegates. How this latter scheme
will pan out remains to be seen.

@- Messrs. S. c. Lee & Sons, of the Champion
machine company, who lately purchased the old
Friends meeting house on Lombard street, Balti-
more, will transform it into a warehouse, but the
outside of the building is to be very little changed
except by the removal of the porch from the Lom-
bard street front. This meeting house was built
eighty three years ago and is of the best known
landmarks of the city. No doubt the members of
the Society of Friends will be glad to know that
this sacred old edifce is to be allowed to stand.
